Hello all... just got my new HAI OmniPro2 controller going and using PC Access to write some automation.
I have a few "Extended Range Temperature Sensors" ... and want to log the temp values at various times of the day. I can see in the PC Access automation tab the ability to access the desired TEMP SENSOR (which is connected to a ZONE)... but no simple way to read the CURRENT VALUE of temp!?
I have poked around and maybe the way is to have something like this... but this seems way too many lines of code:
WHEN Front Temp SECURE
AND IF Front Temp CURRENT READING IS 50
THEN LOG MESSAGE 5 (and then I set MESSAGE 5 to something like 'Front Temp is currently 50 degrees')
But this would require many nested IFs, and MESSAGES, one for each temp value ! (e.g. 51 degrees, 52 degrees, 53 degrees, etc). It would be crazy to have 50 values and MESSAGES.
Isn't there are way to just read the current value and LOG than value directly??
Thanks so much... and I have lots of questions on other stuff too.
Any help much appreciated!
all the best,
Dave
